UB is BACK!
I just received this news from my national oragnization:
"We are pleased to report that today President Bush signed the budget reconciliation bill, H.R. 2669 or the College Cost Reduction Act of 2007, into law. As you know, this legislation includes a provision sponsored by Rep. Bobby Scott (D-VA) that provides $57 million to fund Upward Bound applicants that scored above a 70 in the most recent grant competition. This translates into four years of funding to serve approximately 12,000 students in 187 Upward Bound programs across the country."
That includes our Luther College Upward Bound program. Hallelujah! My students gets service again! I have a job again in 4 days!
Weight lifted off of shoulders. Hallelujah!

Yeah! That is such good news. Per your post did the LC UB score below a 70 on some scale? What can you do to get that score up?

Great news.
we scored at 86, once we added on our prior experience points, so we are in good shape.
There are things we'll revisit in the next grant to boost some of those scores, such as the hidden dropout rates and so forth.
